The Great Wen
Imagine an office boy.. the office junior..
Imprisoned from 8.30 until 17.00 five days a week..
He is going nuts writing poems and imagining great paintings he will make..
He goes out at 10.00 every day to fetch the sandwiches and pastries for the morning break.
He dawdles in the square to waste time away from that place.
Then a friend who has stayed on at school to do 'A' level Art and other subjects has news. His Art Teacher has arranged a trip to London for the students to visit The Tate Gallery and see the Magritte Exhibition.
He has asked the Teacher if Peter can come with them and the answer is Yes.
It's February 1969 and our boy from the library is in for an Experience.
He gas seen the Magritte's
He is standing in front of 'WHAM'
He is standing in front of Dali.
He is now standing looking at the most exiting painting he has ever seen or imagined.
Interior II by Richard Hamilton
is a combination of images both painted and applied and in a variety of media.
It is, to our boy, stunningly beautiful.
out of all the amazing art he has seen this day it is this picture that will create..
He wants to make Art like this.
powerful and beautiful..
memorable..
inspiring..
He must get qualified academically and must come to study in London.
He must find a mentor.
Go to the best Art Schools.
Drink with the artists.
He must become himself
